Nasty Business is the culmination of eight years of research bringing together previously disparate social, economic, aesthetic and technological histories in order to understand the video nasties in a global context. Reconceptualising the panic as a bid for political and industrial control, the book draws on new archival research consulting the archives of the ASA, the BBFC, and the NVLA, contrasted with the collection and analysis of trade journals and industrial documentation and primary source interviews with the representatives of the industry, to present, what is to date, the most complete examination of an industry still understood in caricatured terms.
